Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de réalisation d'une structure d'interconnexion comprenant : la formation dans un substrat (100) d'au moins une tranchée (103, 105) réalisant un contour fermé et d'au moins un trou (102, 104) situé à l'intérieur du dit contour fermé, la tranchée et le trou étant séparés par une zone du substrat, le procédé comprenant en outre des étapes de remplissage de la tranchée par un matériau diélectrique (111) et du trou par un matériau conducteur (117, 122).

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a method for producing an interconnection structure comprising: forming in a substrate (100) at least one trench (103, 105) forming a closed contour and at least one hole (102, 104) located within said closed contour, the trench and the hole being separated by an area of the substrate, the method further comprising steps of filling the trench with a dielectric material (111) and a hole with a material conductor (117, 122).
